In this revised edition, it also tackles the much-overlooked, often-dreaded rehearsal dinner, transforming it from a please-don't-make-me-go affair to a can't-miss event.

5.0 out of 5 stars Panicking no more!!, October 6, 2000
By Tinabina (Fort Worth, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cater Your Own Wedding: Easy Ways to Do It Yourself in Style (Paperback)
This book is an answered prayer! Everyone (including myself) thought I must be insane to think I could provide my own catering.

This book contains all the details you need to coordinate the menus, food preparation, supplies, and decorating yourself. Everything is spelled out in simple, clear steps so that even a complete novice (like me) can do it! I especially like the variety of reception styles and food choices - I plan to mix and match a few of the menu items. I'm so glad I found the book - now I can quit stressing about this aspect of my wedding and move on to something else!

Good luck everyone!!! Tina (Wedding Date: 03/10/01)

2.0 out of 5 stars Get Your Friends to Cater Your Wedding, September 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Cater Your Own Wedding: Easy Ways to Do It Yourself in Style (Paperback)
The title was misleading. I was truly looking for tips on how to successfully cater my daughter's wedding myself. This book's whole premise is to have 17 to 29 of your closest friends prepare an item and bring it. Just not my style. Although I really did like the outline of food on banquet tables, I found the book a little lacking regarding appropriate table centerpieces and other reception decorations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for weddings, October 9, 2000
By Heidi Sears (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cater Your Own Wedding: Easy Ways to Do It Yourself in Style (Paperback)
What a wonderful book. The minute I got it I couldn't put it down. Not only was the book great but Chef Mike was so helpful. He kept in touch with me until the big day to see if I had questions and even remembered to ask after the event how everything went. Now, do you get that from other authors? You can tell he loves what he does and makes you feel so comfortable. The instructions were so easy to follow and the recipes were wonderful. Thanks to Chef Mike my wedding shower was a huge success.
